So, I've had the Qashqai to myself for a few days ...
Here's some insight into the vehicle:
- Apparently the wife picked up the 2WD model, despite the fact the only reason it was on the list was cuz it had 4WD  FML wtf logic.
- The hood prop stick is located on the underside of the hood 
- low beam projectors with Morimoto H11b HIDs are fucking mint. There's less glare looking at it from a rearview mirror, than the glare from OEM Audi Q5. Cutoff is also mint.
- First time driving a CVT transmission ... it's... uninspiring...
- The wipers piss me off. If you flick it, it'll wipe twice, then 3 seconds later, wipe once more.
- Hate the quality of the backup cam...
- Fogs are pretty much useless
- I like the size of the vehicle
- I like how the trunk has 2 'layers', and can lift one section up to separate it into 2.
- It's got a 'ram-air' duct behind the grill to direct air to the intake
As for the Q5 ... I haven't had much hands-on myself, but:
- road noise is a bit louder than I'd expect from a luxo S/CUV
- Apple CarPlay is annoying as you have to plug it into the USB port; less voltage than a high-end Anker cigarette lighter plug, and wired.
- It has the 'kick-under-the-bumper' auto trunk open/close ... Sweet.
- Accent lighting all over the place ... sweet
- Not a true fan (yet?) of the in-dash map. Though it's great in that it'll start training the wife in directions (North, South, East, West.)

I'd love to hear how OP found out it was a fwd model...that must've been a riot.
/don't worry I got awd boys, as he does a 1 wheel burnout trying to get up his driveway.

Epic Fail. Should have bought a Sentra then get a lift kit afterward
since it's also FWD

My RDX has been good. Wife got used to it real quick.

The new one looks a lot like the MDX crossed with a Lexus RX / NX. Overall, I like the new one's look better.
